The square is named after the 19th century Galician poet Manuel Curros Enríquez, one of the writers of the Rexurdimento.

[12] In December 1986, a monument to Alexandre Bóveda was installed in the square, promoted by the Partido Galleguista and paid for by the people.

[15][16] On 18 December 1998, the Casino Mercantil e Industrial de Pontevedra moved into the Varela building, which the company had purchased in April of the same year.

In front of this building there is a central triangular space delimited by some stairs in which there are benches and the sculpture of Alexandre Bóveda.

The monument to Alexandre Bóveda, founder of the Partido Galleguista (Galician Nationalist Party) in 1931, was created by the sculptor Alfonso Vilar Lamelas in 1986.

[13] In front of the Olmedo building is a cast iron fountain from 1887 of French design, decorated with flowers and shells, four fauns with spouts in their mouths and on top a vase with handles and a lid.

[8][23] The square has along its west side eight stone benches covered with wood on top and eight orange trees.

The decoration of the mansard window frames and the continuous tabular bossage on the facades is remarkable, as is the symmetry of the multiple balcony doors.
